Etkinlik Açıklaması

The opening session of MARUF25 invites us all to a new beginning. Not just to identify problems, but to rethink, dream together, and seek better possibilities—marking the start of a three-day journey of reflecting on cities. We come together at the opening session to embark on a search for original and creative solutions, to experience ways of thinking that reconcile diverse perspectives, to explore paths of co-creation, and even to reconnect and strengthen our bonds.

A special moment will also accompany this beginning: the internationally acclaimed choir Chromas, under the direction of Başak Doğan, will take the stage. With its unique repertoire and the improvisation-based communication method vocal painting, the choir will invite participants to become part of this experience.
